    That and the fact that they were dispatched after great runs of success ending in 1918 and then 2018. The 2021 team did do a lot better than the 1921 team, so there's that.

    Really hard to say. Bailey seems to be pretty elite at what he does. But he's not a miracle-worker, either. A lot of this might just be Houck reaching maturity and being 100% healthy.
  3. Bellhorn04
    As a still-superstitious Sox fan I find the historic parallels between the losses of Ruth and Betts to be a tad freaky. Mainly talking about the 'century apart' thing.
  4. Bellhorn04
    I'm sure they had high hopes. I think that would apply to most of their moves and non-moves. Houck has been fantastic, that much is indisputable, and I'm sure Bailey and the rest of the pitching brain trust get a lot of credit for that.

    Kennedy also said this BTW: "we’ve suffered the loss of guys like Trevor (Story) and Triston (Casas) and Tyler O’Neill now going down. So, that’s not an excuse. It’s on us to stay healthy. That’s part of competing." Every time he talks he breaks new ground in stupidity.
  6. Bellhorn04
    That's true, but I don't know how they were supposed to see this coming, either. The last couple of years he hasn't been that good or that durable. These are not easy calls to make.
  7. Bellhorn04
    He's an ornery, stubborn prick, there can't be much doubt about it any more.
  8. Bellhorn04
    It's the owners and front office that have been underachieving going back to 2019.* *Excluding Breslow who I am absolving completely at this point.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, personally I think their record is self-explanatory. There is no mystery why they are in a death struggle with the .500 mark.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Sam apparently thought lowering the payroll would have a positive impact on results.

    Red Sox 2024 record in first game of home stand: 0-5 5 runs scored 31 runs allowed Nothing like the magic of getting back to Fenway!
  12. Bellhorn04
    Yes, he has really exposed himself over the last 5 years as an ass.
  13. Bellhorn04
    I was talking about his defensive numbers for all 3 MLB part seasons, BTW. Every single number is negative.
  14. Bellhorn04
    He's pro level.
  15. Bellhorn04
    I assume Bailey and Varitek do the game planning. Not sure how much latitude the catchers have to make calls.
  16. Bellhorn04
    mvp is just yanking chains.
  17. Bellhorn04
    I don't think anyone is down on Breslow, really. Most Red Sox fans have come to realize where the real issues of recent years lie.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Sure he does. He was putting in extra effort in the offseason in more ways than one. Just s***** luck.
  19. Bellhorn04
    It is. But last year he had a BABIP of 344 and it still only resulted in a 659 OPS.
  20. Bellhorn04
    I don't think anyone will dispute that Sale is still a fairly high injury risk. However, a) He was healthy at the end of 2023. He had TJ surgery which obviously accounts for a lot of the missed time. c) Two of his other injuries were fluky stuff-getting hit by a ball and falling off a bike. These are things that the Braves were obviously looking at.
  21. Bellhorn04
    OK, let's go Old School on Yoshida: 15 HR 72 RBI Not great production for a DH who cost the team $105 million for 5 years.
  22. Bellhorn04
    The lack of home runs and extra base hits is just ridiculous. How can you be a good MLB hitter if you can't hit home runs or doubles?
  23. Bellhorn04
    What does Grissom actually do well, in an MLB context, is kind of the question.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Merely citing objective statistics.
  25. Bellhorn04
    It's almost like the same guys who scouted Grissom for us are the guys who scouted Yoshida. Seeing stuff that just isn't there. Mirages.
